That’s probably the most impressive thing about them tbh, to lose a top quality player like Walmsley and hardly have an issue replacing him is some going. I think the bulk of the praise on that front needs to go to Luke Thompson and (through gritted teeth) McCarthy-Scarsbrook. They’ve been excellent in his absence and drove them forward. The other two props in Amor and Douglas look pretty average even in a team playing that well.

So we’ve got Saints, Huddersfield and Catalan away, Warrington, Hull, Cas and Wakey at home. I’ll take that all day long!!

We'll have to play a sight better than we did tonight to retain 2nd spot and get a home semi.
That list is very doable.
Winder said that Lockers and Williams will be back for round 1 with Sutton the week after.

Lam will be the coach soon!

Tomkins and Williams half backs for the rest of the year, it's our only hope.

Is this confirmed?or just going off previous years? Gotta say we couldn’t have asked for better fixtures, really glad to get Warrington,Cas and Wakey at home. Top 4 you would imagine is in the bag but I really think we need to get that second spot but if I’m honest I’m not confident of beating any of the other 7 on current form (bar maybe Hull).

Sam was excellent last night in the halves, Escare was very good at full back, Woods struggled and Powell was just horrendous again but I have no faith that things will be changed.

Powell is being hung out to dry. If we don’t get him out the halves then we can wave any chances of getting to Old Trafford goodbye. He is a hooker and a hooker only.

Yes mate. The outstanding results from this weekend won’t impact on top 8 positions. I’m not taking any credit, good old Bilko worked the fixtures out. The fixtures will be announced at noon on Wednesday.

Perhaps he read the first paragraph of the thread's first post....
